  1. Hmmm, OK, so lots of stretch, what about the hollow of the doors surely you need sone on the other sides? Certainly looking forward to this venture, thank you for the advice.

    With the Triple gauges, did you actually break them off, then re-glue?

  2. The bit around the gearstick is the easy part, its wrapping the upper centre console that will have you tearing your hair out, especially around the triple gauges.

     

    I dont get this, why cant you just remove the dials? I've seen this concern on the forum when searching, but surely its best to remove them and leave them out of wrapping?!

     

    Here's mine. Do the door pull handles first as a practice and to teach yourself what can and can't be done with the wrap. Be interested to see what the orange carbon looks like though :)

     

    That looks proper tidy!! Thanks for sharing

     

    I will sound like a numpty saying this, but I LOVE orange and was a big factor on the car (sigh) so interior is going to have a good dose of orange inside. The bit I'm concerned about is the area to the sides low down near the knee pad. Just looks like its going to need some serious stretching. How much hair dryer action did yours have? Also, the cubby lid, did you use the inside cut or a completely separate bit, I'm concerned about pattern alignment. Also would you mind showing me some of the edges so I can see how you finished around the cubby lid & guages just looking for suggestions as first (hopefully not the last) time wrapping.

  3. he mentioned you cant wrap plastic with a texture.

     

    Sounds like he was throwing down a challenge there!

     

    Part of the reason i am going for the orange carbon fibre is BECAUSE the plastic is textured

  4. You can either run a NAS. Personally I run a home server using SyncBackFree on my Machines to sync realtime to the server or NAS. However as a failover I also run LiveDrive to cloud backup all my machines (as some machine have differnet content) this is only 15 squids for the top wack product and is idea for off site backup incase your entire house was to have something terrible happen to it.

     

    In my time freelancing i have seen various SOHO backup solutions, and ripped most of them out as are pony in the case of a catastrophic failure. I would certainly look at a local AND a remote backup.

     

    If you want any tech advice I'm a PC geek so happy to help out, or if you arnt to far away happy to travel to help you configure.

  5. Going to have my first bash at wrapping, starting with the centre console. I'm looking at an orange carbon-fibre wrap. However, I'm a little concerned about the curvature as the console meets the gearstick. As you have a concave on the front then a large area to cover on the sides. Is this advisable to have my first hit at wrapping on this item? Should I be worried about this curvature?
